Well 32 days to be precise...

Now i am not normally one to mark the end of the year like the end of a chapter, but this year i appear to be looking at the end of this year as a way of closing a chapter and moving on

For the last 5 years i have run my own training company, that has now come to a close. In a year we have gone from having a full order book to absolutely nothing, its a strange feeling, but that ship has now sailed and it time to look for another boat.

So i am going to do something completely different, but something that allows me to spend...

And that really bugs the hell out of me

i am away currently, now when i stay in hotels etc it grieves me to pay £10 per 24 hours for internet access so i decided to look at the possibility of hooking the phone up as a modem....

Quick call to the fruity networks customer services....No sir the Blackberry can't do that...hmmmmm, nae bother i will treat myself to a dongle....

London is a strange place for me, i have worked here on and off for a few years, today and tomorrow i am here.....

The Thames Barrier, TBH its something that i have always wanted to have a looky at, but never had the chance....

The thought of visiting London gives me knots in my stomach, its not that i dislike it, i just...

With the weather being as good as it has been i was nominated to do the cooking tonight....for the family and some friends

Once the food was server and eaten it was then down to the business of drinking, and enjoying the evening

Blogging is new to me, and to be honest it may be a little sporadic to begin with....

Mine will be a mix of AO life and real life as well as my cars, which i suppose i had better introduce

My Spider, this is my weekend car and totally love it to bits, it gets spoilt by me


my 156 Selespeed Sportwagon, my daily driver, another Alfa that i love but we have a tempestuous relationship due to neglect by previous owners
